Essentials of HVAC in Bloomington
Essentials of HVAC in Bloomington
The modern home or office building consists of many complex systems. These systems include the foundation and support structures, electrical and lighting, and plumbing. Another major part of any building that often goes unnoticed by its inhabitants is the HVAC system. HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. Identifying the purpose and goals of the HVAC system can educate business owners and homeowners about the importance of having efficient systems.
In the workplace, air quality is an essential consideration in maintaining the productivity, comfort, and health of the occupants, and should not be trivialized. If air quality and temperature are not maintained, occupant comfort in the workplace can suffer, directly affecting productivity and morale. An efficient HVAC system is essential to provide a work environment that enhances comfort and prevents irritability caused by the inconvenience of extremely hot or cold indoor temperatures.
Roles of HVAC Systems
When examining the design of an HVAC system, it is important to know the various roles that it plays. It is common that when it is cold, the thermostat is turned up for more heat to be generated. Conversely, when it becomes uncomfortably hot, the thermostat is turned down or set to cool. In its most basic role, an HVAC system keeps occupants comfortable by adjusting the room's temperature. This provides a room with ambient air conditions relative to the unbearable external temperature.
Equally important as providing the right temperature to a room, the HVAC system must also keep occupants comfortable by supplying fresh air from the outside. If a significant proportion of fresh exterior air is introduced, carbon dioxide build-up is alleviated and occupants experience better health and performance gains. Workplace condition studies have shown a direct link between CO2 levels and short-term sick leave in office workforces. Because CO2 is generally harmful in large amounts, they need to be controlled with efficient HVAC systems.
The roles of the HVAC system pertaining to occupant health do not end there. In heavily air-conditioned and energy efficient environments, recirculated conditioned air can carry contaminants that contribute to respiratory illnesses. It is the HVAC system's job to remove these contaminants and dust from the air using filters at various stages. Also, contaminant removal or mitigation is a critical production process in facilities that use clean rooms such as semiconductor fabrication sites, medical laboratories, food processing plants, or locations that handle hazardous materials.
With the spiraling costs of fuel, it is also the role of HVAC systems to be efficient and economical. Energy-efficient HVAC systems may incorporate:
- variable air volume designs
- components designed for operation at low pressures
- digital control systems
- mechanisms for reclaiming heating or cooling benefits from recirculated air
- high-efficiency Electronically Commutated Motor (ECM) fans
Many products are designed specifically with energy efficiency in mind. By understanding the importance of occupant comfort, the significance of correct HVAC system design is realized. Good HVAC systems are responsible for:
controlling the temperature in the environment
providing fresh air to the occupants
filtering out dust and contaminants
operating in an energy-efficient and unobtrusive manner

The Contest 50CS is a proven all-rounder in blue water adventuring and fast cruising, with three cabins and 2 heads. "Good Feeling" is a fully equipped version which has had little use due to her owner having less time to sail her than he would like. This is also his reason for selling her.

Piercings Aren't The End of The World
Ah yes, rebellious youth. We all had it in one way or another. I personally chose putting holes in my skin, dressing alternatively, and dying my hair every color of the rainbow. Now I am 22, and looking back all I can do is laugh. I was a good kid. I didn't get pregnant under age, or shoot up heroin. I just enjoyed expressing myself, and letting my outward appearance reflect the fact that I was different. I was shy, quiet, and creative. My parents never really had a problem with this. Then again, I didn't quite ask for their permission either. I've heard so many people talk negatively about those with a face full of metal. Here's my outlook on the whole thing.
By the time I was 17 I already had: my lip pierced (on each side), my labret, my medusa pierced, my tongue (pierced twice), my nose pierced (twice), my belly button pierced (top and bottom) & my ears gauged. Over time I grew bored with these body modifications, and eventually got rid of them. The best thing about piercings is that they're temporary. They leave minimal scars which are easily are covered with make up. Let your teenager do what ever they want, as long as its not permanent.
Believe it or not, these things don't effect the kind of person your teenager will be in the future. I am living proof of this. I am married to a wonderful man, a college student, proud house owner, and also a homemaker. I wore a lot of black, why? Because I liked it. I wasn't worshipping Satan or depressed. I just like simple colors, and I still do. My hair color still changes monthly, just as it did back then. Currently I only have a total of 4 piercings remaining, and I plan on keeping them. Maybe at some point I'll take them out (like when I become a soccer mom) but for now who cares?
What I am trying to say is allow your child to express themselves. Its the kids who are under strict control when they're young, that end up rebelling once they get older. If you're given the option to express yourself at a young age, the desire to do so more drastically will not be there when you're actually capable of doing so. Piercings are not the end of the world! You may not like what they look like now, but suck it up. Society now is different from how it was 20 years ago. People just don't care about these things anymore. Your teen still has every opportunity to make a name for themselves in the real world. Unless your child plans on getting a tattoo on their forehead, most changes are reversible. Don't freak out, piercings aren't the end of the world!

All I want is to create and care for plants,
But instead I hold hands, scratch heads and try my best to make conversation.
I am not built for socialisation.
I am built for dirt and calloused hands from needle pricks.
For counter coffee stains and paperbacks,
Ink pens and staple guns and shovels.

A lot of roleplayers are also comic book collectors, so collecting the DC Heroes RPG lets you satisfy two hobbies at once. Given the popularity of comic book superhero roleplaying games, one might think DC and Marvel RPGs would dominate that genre of roleplaying games. That's never quite been the case, though DC Heroes was a top seller in its genre during its run in the Eighties. The rules live on in the Blood of Heroes RPG, which one small publishing company or another has been working on throughout the early 21st century.
The DC Heroes Roleplaying Game
The DC Heroes RPG was published in 1985, while supplements continued to come out until 1989. In time, most of the major DC superteams (of the time) had their own sourcebooks, including the Justice League, The Teen Titans, and the Legion of Superheroes. Some of these books are now collectors items, while the entire DC Heroes line is remembered as a good rule system that may have never quite gotten its due.
DC Heroes roleplaying still has a devoted following of players who'll argue that this is the best system ever devised for comic book battle resolution. While it has the cross-referenced charts that were so popular in the 80s, the use of these charts doesn't take long and the ability of characters to allot hero points in battle is a good way to mimic the kind of fights you have in comics.
These discussions always have an inherent bias, because enjoyment in a campaign often comes down not just to a rule system, but also to the mix of players, the skill of the gamemaster, and which system we have fun with the first.
DC Heroes Roleplaying Boxed Set
The DC Heroes boxed set contains the rules, an introductory adventure, and write-ups on DC biggest superheroes.
DC Heroes Magic
It seems like every roleplaying system has its own magic sourcebook to detail its mystical heroes, arcane madmen, and supernatural entities, and this is the DC Heroes version. Released by Mayfair Games in 1992, DC Heroes Magic contains the Specter on the front cover. Get the stats on Dr. Fate, Zatanna, the Phantom Stranger, Madame Xanadu, John Constantine, and their ilk in this module.
DC Heroes Who's Who 1, 2, 3
You probably remember the "Who's Who in the DC Universe" comics that were published back in the mid-to-late 1980s. These were the DC Universe equivalent to the Marvel Handbook. Three Who's Who books were published for the DC Heroes game as well. These books contain dozens of character stat blocks and background histories that didn't make it into the core rulebook. Each of them also sells these days for around $100 online.
These supplements contains new powers, new rules, updates of old characters, and optional rules. You'll also find factoids about DC superhumans, such as the fact Aquaman can swim at 110 mph or the fact that Big Barda can bench press 60,000 pounds. The most astounding fact is that Lex Luther had an income of $24 billion a year in 1993. In today's dollars, Luther would make in one year what it's taken Bill Gates a lifetime to collect. No wonder he can afford all those gadgets, or to buy his way out of prison.
DC Heroes Watchmen Metal Miniatures
One advantage to having a DC roleplaying game come out in 1985 was that it assured there would be a Watchmen scenario eventually published. These metal miniatures are for the Watchmen module of DC Heroes. This is an expensive set these days–probably upwards of $200 or more.
Watchmen: Who Watches the Watchmen?
The Watchmen: Who Watches the Watchmen module first sold in 1987. Anyone who read comics in the Eighties would like to play one of the Watchmen at some time or another. This is your chance.
Legion of Superheroes Module
The Legion of Superheroes was my favorite superteam growing up. For those who weren't quite so enthusiastic, this supplement lets you figure out who is who among the DC Universe's most sprawling team of superheroes (with the possible exception of the early Global Guardians). Learn about the 30th century's worst villains, including the Fatal Five, the Legion of Super-Villains, and Mordru.
DC Heroes Green Lantern Corps
The GL Corps is another of those DC organizations that's hard for newcomers to figure out. The sheer number of Green Lanterns and some of the oddball aliens who've joined make it a little hard to get up-to-speed on the universe's #1 police force. This resource should give you all you need to know about the Green Lantern Corps–at least in the early 1990s before all that red, yellow, blue corps nonsense got started.
DC Heroes Superman Sourcebook
Anyone playing in a DC Universe has to contend with Superman. Any character with a 70+ year history is going to have a lot of background. So this gives you the essentials of what you need to know about Superman's rogues gallery, Superman's pals, and Metropolis itself.

Mozilla CEO says that the Firefox Mobile OS will be available this summer in Venezuela, Poland, Brazil, Portugal, and Spain.
Firefox Mobile OS will launch this summer in five countries, said Mozilla CEO Gary Kovacs. Kocacs, who announced earlier this month that he will be stepping down from his post as CEO, said that the new operating system, which is designed for low-end devices, will launch this summer in Venezuela, Poland, Brazil, Portugal, and Spain.
A spokesman for the company reiterated that the company had announced initial launch countries on February 24 when it was showing off the mobile OS at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Spain.
"The initial countries where Firefox OS devices will be available to consumers are Brazil, Colombia, Hungary, Mexico, Montenegro, Poland, Serbia, Spain and Venezuela," he said in an email. "Exact launch timing is decided by and dependent on our partners."
Mozilla's move to target customers outside the U.S. makes sense given that the OS is targeted for lower-end devices. Kovacs acknowledged that the 1.0 version of the OS that lands on these first phones is just a start. He said the company is simply trying to stimulate the market with the Firefox Mobile OS.
Mozilla announced its first partnerships for the new mobile OS at Mobile World Congress earlier this year. Companies like LG and ZTE say they are already on board to create handsets. Carriers have said they'll support it too, including Telefonica in Europe. The head of AT&T's wireless division said in February that it may consider phones running the OS.

Save The Bay Honors San Mateo County for Leadership in Banning Plastic Bags
May 6, 2013
Save The Bay, the largest regional organization working to protect and restore San Francisco Bay, is proud to give San Mateo County a Clean Bay Award for its leadership in drafting and implementing a county-wide model ordinance to ban plastic bags—one of the first of its kind in the nation. San Mateo County's bag ordinance marks a turning point for bag bans in the Bay Area and underscores that a regional approach is the best way to rid our waterways of plastic.
The award will be presented by Save The Bay Executive Director David Lewis at 9:00 a.m. on May 7 at the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors meeting. Media and the public are invited to attend.
The plastic trash that plagues our waterways is a regional issue that requires regional solutions. The San Mateo County Department of Environmental Health led this effort by preparing an environmental impact report and developing a model ordinance.
This ordinance is ground-breaking in that, not only did the county take on the expense of preparing the EIR for the cities in San Mateo County, but it also invited municipalities in neighboring Santa Clara County to participate.
"Many cities had talked about doing something for years, but lacked the resources to tackle the lengthy and complex process of performing an Environmental Impact Report," said Dean Peterson, San Mateo County's director of environmental health.
All cities in San Mateo county and six cities in Santa Clara county participated in the EIR, with the goal of creating incentives for residents to switch to reusable bags when shopping. The ordinance was approved in October 2012 and implemented by 12 cities in San Mateo County, and one in Santa Clara County, on Earth Day 2013. Residents affected by the ordinance are adjusting well.
"San Mateo County residents are proving every day that it's possible to live with less plastic. We still occasionally forget to bring our reusable bags with us to the store, but we're adapting because we know our environment is better off for it," said San Mateo County Supervisor, Carole Groom.
"We're reaching a critical mass of bag bans in the Bay Area," said Allison Chan, Clean Bay campaign manager for Save The Bay. "There's almost a solid swathe of bans from Santa Cruz north to Marin, which will have a real impact on the health of the Bay."
Impact of Bag Bans around the Bay
• San Jose estimates that plastic bag trash in storm drains dropped by 89% after the city's ban was enacted.
• San Francisco's 2007 ban targeted just over 100 stores (supermarkets and grocery stores), and reduced the number of plastic bags used by well over 100,000,000 per year.
• San Francisco's 2012 ordinance extended the plastic bag ban to all stores and required stores to charge 10 cents for the bags given out. According to Jack Macy from San Francisco's Department of the Environment, "store compliance is high and bag reuse by customers is generally 75% or higher."
• This latest San Mateo County ban means that there will soon be a nearly solid mass of plastic bag bans from Santa Cruz north into Marin.
• Alameda County adopted its own county-wide ban in January 2013.

ABOVE: Life of George Washington--The farmer. By Junius Brutus Stearns (Library of Congress).
As my newfound studies into the Revolution continue to expand, one subject that has caught my attention is the extraordinary life and legacy of George Washington. Most of my current reading has been done in preparation for my upcoming presentation on Mary Ball Washington for the VA Farm Bureau Women's Convention, and for an article that I am writing for Patriots of the American Revolution magazine on Col. Washington and the VA Militia's experiences in western Pennsylvania. Sources for these projects include Edward G. Lengel's General George Washington and Washington's Crossing by David Hackett Fischer. Both of these titles are excellent and I am gaining a tremendous wealth of knowledge on our nation's first commander-in-chief.
Over the years, the majority of my work has focused specifically on the social, political, and religious aspects of our collective history. That is to say NOT the military ones. I have zero expertise in battlefield tactics and leave that subject up to real military historians like Eric Wittenberg and Brooks Simpson. In lieu of manly weapons and strategy, I have chosen to tackle the equally explosive issue of race. Just as my book on Fredericksburg's churches and PAR feature on Race and Remembrance at Monticello dealt with the complexities and contradictions of slavery, so too are my latest studies into the Founding Fathers. I have written extensively on Thomas Jefferson's attitudes on the institution of human bondage and I am now examining Washington's perspective.
I do not consider myself ready to draw any concrete conclusions (yet) on Washington's struggles over race. That said, I have found the obvious similarities and differences between Jefferson's and Washington's racisms to be most intriguing. Both Virginia planters benefited greatly from the institution in their own private enterprise while accumulating and maintaining their family's wealth on the backs of their slaves. Washington however, ended his life with a mindset that differed from Jefferson's. The slaves that Washington owned in his own right came from several sources. He was left eleven slaves by his father's will; a portion of his half-brother Lawrence Washington's slaves, about a dozen in all, were willed to him after the death of Lawrence's infant daughter and his widow; and Washington purchased from time to time slaves for himself, mostly before the Revolution.
David Hackett Fischer recently published a piece on Washington titled Born to Lead which contained an excellent sidebar describing this aspect of Washington's life. Titled The Unapologetic Patrician, it presents a critical portrait of a social snob who begrudgingly maintained slaves until his death:
"Washington grew up among many inequalities, and he accepted most of them. He was very conscious of social rank. A sociable man among his peers, he was at his ease with others of his class and often in their company. From 1768 to 1775, he entertained 2,000 people at Mount Vernon, mostly "people of rank," as he called them. He deliberately kept others at a distance and advised his manager at Mount Vernon always to deal that way with inferiors. "To treat them civilly is no more than what all men are entitled to," Washington wrote, "but my advice to you is, to keep them at a proper distance; for they will grow upon familiarity, in proportion as you sink in authority." Washington had been taught to treat people of every rank with civility and "condescension," a word that has changed its meaning in the modern era. In Washington's world, to condescend was to treat inferiors with decency and respect while maintaining a system of inequality.
His world was also a hierarchy of wealth, and Washington acquired a large share of it. When his brother died, he became the master of Mount Vernon at the age of 22, leasing it from his sister-in-law, then owning it outright. At 36, he married Martha Parke Custis, a very beautiful and gracious woman and one of the richest widows in Virginia. By skillful management and good luck, his property increased rapidly before the Revolution. Public service diminished his wealth, and he was forced to sell large tracts of land to pay the expenses of his presidency, but even with that burden, he built one of the largest family fortunes in America, with a net worth of more than a million dollars. In 1799, his and his wife's estates included many thousands of acres and 331 slaves.
Part of his world was hierarchy and race. In his early years, Washington owned many slaves and actively bought and sold them. Before the Revolution, he shared the attitudes of his time and place and fully accepted slavery, but after 1775, his thoughts changed rapidly. He began to speak of slavery as a great evil, and by 1777, he wrote of his determination to "get clear" of it. After much thought and careful preparation, he emancipated all of his slaves in his will." (Bold emphasis added.)
It appears that Washington's conscience was deeply troubled in his later years. His determination to free his slaves was likely a way of easing the burden of guilt. Unlike Jefferson, Washington freed all of his slaves upon his (and his wife's) death, making no distinction between them. Every one was granted liberty regardless of their age, position, or stature within the household. Jefferson only freed certain slaves when he passed away and many more were sold off by his heirs to cover the immense debt that he had incurred while building Monticello. One could even say that Jefferson relinquished his slaves because he had to, while Washington appears to have done so because he wanted to. Here is an excerpt from Washington's will that frees his slaves and commends them for their service (Note: the < > denotes where text was illegible, but can be assumed):
<Ite>m Upon the decease <of> my wife, it is my Will & desire th<at> all the Slaves which I hold in <my> own right, shall receive their free<dom>. To emancipate them during <her> life, would, tho' earnestly wish<ed by> me, be attended with such insu<pera>ble difficulties on account of thei<r interm>ixture by Marriages with the <dow>er Negroes, as to excite the most pa<in>ful sensations, if not disagreeabl<e c>onsequences from the latter, while <both> descriptions are in the occupancy <of> the same Proprietor; it not being <in> my power, under the tenure by which <th>e Dower Negroes are held, to man<umi>t them. And whereas among <thos>e who will recieve freedom ac<cor>ding to this devise, there may b<e so>me, who from old age or bodily infi<rm>ities, and others who on account of <the>ir infancy, that will be unable to <su>pport themselves; it is m<y Will and de>sire that all who <come under the first> & second descrip<tion shall be comfor>tably cloathed & <fed by my heirs while> they live; and that such of the latter description as have no parents living, or if living are unable, or unwilling to provide for them, shall be bound by the Court until they shall arrive at the ag<e> of twenty five years; and in cases where no record can be produced, whereby their ages can be ascertained, the judgment of the Court, upon its own view of the subject, shall be adequate and final. The Negros thus bound, are (by their Masters or Mistresses) to be taught to read & write; and to be brought up to some useful occupation, agreeably to the Laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, providing for the support of Orphan and other poor Children. and I do hereby expressly forbid the Sale, or transportation out of the said Commonwealth, of any Slave I may die possessed of, under any pretence whatsoever. And I do moreover most pointedly, and most solemnly enjoin it upon my Executors hereafter named, or the Survivors of them, to see that th<is cla>use respecting Slaves, and every part thereof be religiously fulfilled at the Epoch at which it is directed to take place; without evasion, neglect or delay, after the Crops which may then be on the ground are harvested, particularly as it respects the aged and infirm; seeing that a regular and permanent fund be established for their support so long as there are subjects requiring it; not trusting to the <u>ncertain provision to be made by individuals. And to my Mulatto man William (calling himself William Lee) I give immediate freedom; or if he should prefer it (on account of the accidents which ha<v>e befallen him, and which have rendered him incapable of walking or of any active employment) to remain in the situation he now is, it shall be optional in him to do so: In either case however, I allow him an annuity of thirty dollars during his natural life, whic<h> shall be independent of the victuals and cloaths he has been accustomed to receive, if he chuses the last alternative; but in full, with his freedom, if he prefers the first; & this I give him as a test<im>ony of my sense of his attachment to me, and for his faithful services during the Revolutionary War. <end>
A detailed listing of Washington's slaves is also available online at The Papers of George Washington. More on this subject to come.

I pre-ordered my copy of Reading Reconsidered by Doug Lemov, Colleen Driggs and Erica Woolway back in October. It arrived last week. Within a week of its arrival, I was visiting museums to find non-fiction texts to embed in project work and to dress up.
This suggests that I was not approaching Reading Reconsidered neutral. I have been anticipating Reading Reconsidered for months.
England is some way behind the United States when it comes to reading in class. Much of my up-to-date reading knowledge comes from US blogs (e.g. Grant Wiggins and Timothy Shanahan). I was hoping for a book which took these ideas further while providing me with practical solutions to implementing them, which is exactly what this book does.

For years Deli Night has been special night, thanks in part to some very special people making some very special food, one of them is Dave Meyers Kreplach recipe. Like many fabulous foods we all know and love, this one is part due to recipe, part due to quality of ingredients, and most due to love and memories that are cooked into them when prepared. The first time that my father-in-law taught me how to make this tasty treat, I thought the kitchen would never get clean. OY! but that was Dave, he'd mess up the kitchen and you'd clean it up. He always explained that you don't simply follow the recipe, you need to do it by feel. I am so blessed to have learned this from him, and carry on the tradition for our family.

Jim and Selma were married for 60 years before Jim passed away last summer. Though Selma baked many wonderful, tasty creations for Jim throughout their years together, this daffodil cake was always Jim's favorite! This cake celebrated every one of Jim's birthdays and and their anniversaries as well as many a regular old day in their life together! In fact, the daffodil cake became quite renowned in Grand Island as Selma was the only one who baked it. Anyone who celebrated with Jim and Selma got to share the wonderful taste treat of Selma's daffodil cake. Though this cake is very labor intensive, it was always made as a labor of love! Enjoy!

Even people who say they don't like lamb, love this lamb! This recipe personifies Dave Meyers because it's a lot like he was: simple, honest, straight-forward and made with lots of love!

Innovation-Eric Fiorillo The Host of the Award Winning Motivation and Muscle Streaming Radio 24/7 Welcomes Carmen Caputo to the broadcast. Carmen is a USA Marine Veteran, a Retired School Teacher and a Champion Weightlifter for 57 years. Eric and Carmen kick our radio show right off with the power of innovation in every facet of your life especially in the skill of weightlifting, Carmen refers to all of his years of training over the bar and under the bar and no matter how he feels he will always lift the iron. Right, there that is an innovative thought process. He has now reasoned inside of himself that there is truly no peace with him unless he is fully involved with his weight room.Eric and Carmen talk about the innovation of a lifter meaning Carmen himself where he believes that lots of iron, lifting bars, dumbbells and your own place to lift all of this steel is the best place to put it all together and get it done! Eric and Carmen are both in full agreement that the majority of gyms will never inspire one to become better and to go after a worthy goal. This type of environment does not breed where innovation needs to thrive.We talk about the only way to be a true innovator is to have an unrelenting iron will no matter what you're faced with. But there's even more to it than that. You need to find every drop of inspiration in you to go out and take a high risk on yourself or in your training. Aren't they really one in the same? Learn to try new things to fix an age old problem. Sometimes you'll need to see what doesn't work in your training in order to figure out what will work so you will truly succeed. Eric and Carmen talk about some of the innovative training Eric is doing at the FBC Stone and Steel Yard. With a trip in the future to do some major stone lifting in Iceland, Scotland and Wales Eric is embarking on many older styles of weight movements which are not popular because of the difficulty so many of them present. To accomplish these goals you must take your mind on a voyage few really will want to attempt because of the pain it will cause. I look at it as a chance to come up with ideas that have always been there but someone had the guts to prove the theory and how to execute it and make it work. We can't emphasize enough about what is the goal your going after and how hard do want to achieve it! Make that impossible goal and go after it with the drive of an earth mover. Never shy away from hard work even when you feel you could be going down. Someone or something will come out of nowhere and turn or tilt you in the right direction. We end our podcast with doing what's important for yourself to succeed. Remember it's for you and only you. Take that big leap of faith in yourself. Become the innovator who succeeds no matter what the odds present over and over again. Learn to become the example and the solution to others out there who are facing or have faced the similar situations you're going through. Time moves ever so quickly. Innovate, Inspire, and Believe that the world is yours to create all of the success you've ever dreamed of. Motivation and Muscle Streaming Radio 24/7 Connects Your Brain To Your Brawn. Enjoy!

Bank of Americas wealth management unit produced strong profits for the fourth quarter of 2013, and did so with fewer advisors.
The banks Global Wealth & Investment Management unit, which includes Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and the ultra-high net worth brokerage U.S. Trust, reported that income rose 34% quarter-over-quarter, from $575 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 to $777 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, up from $719 million in the previous quarter. At the same time the number of financial advisors declined by 300 from the third to the fourth quarters of 2013.
GWIM reported that annual net income rose 32% year-over-year from $2.2 billion for 2012 to $2.9 billion for 2013. Compared to the year earlier period, the number of advisors fell by about 1,100.
Most of the year-over-year decline in advisors came from Merrill Lynch, which fell from 14,915 advisors in 2012 to 13,771 in 2013. U.S. Trust added 23 advisors, rising from 257 in 2012 to 280 in 2013.
Staff cutbacks have occurred company-wide at Bank of America, which reduced the total number of full-time employees by about 5,000 in the fourth quarter. Over the past year, the bank has reduced its staff from 267,190 at the end of 2012 to 242,177 at the end of 2013, a difference of about 15,000. Even so, the bank nearly tripled its profits for the year, growing from $4 billion for 2012 to $11.4 billion for 2013.
Although there were fewer advisors, both wealth management units generated higher revenues. Merrill Lynch reported that its revenue increased $200 million quarter-over-quarter, rising from $3.5 billion to $3.7 billion in 2013, up from $3.65 billion in the third quarter. U.S. Trusts revenue rose from $690 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 to $762 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, up from $730 million in the previous quarter.
Annual revenues were likewise up for both units. Merrill Lynchs revenue increased from $13.7 billion for 2012 to $14.7 billion for 2013, while U.S. Trusts revenue grew from $2.7 billion for 2012 to $2.9 billion for 2013. Overall, GWIMs revenue rose from $16.5 billion for 2012 to $17.7 billion for 2013.
Total advisor productivity rose for GWIM from $900,000 for 2012 to about $1,000,000 for 2013.
GWIMs total client balances rose from $2.1 billion for 2012 to $2.3 billion for 2013. The groups assets under management grew from $698 million for 2012 to $821 million for 2013. Brokerage assets also increased from $960 million in 2012 to $1 billion in 2013.

About Sarasota Housing Authority
Historical Highlights
SHA was formed in 1938, and was only the eighth housing authority formed in FL.
Orange Ave., a 60 unit apartment complex located at 1912 N. Orange Ave., was completed in 1940, becoming SHA's first public housing development.
The Courts was Sarasota's second public housing development, a 100-unit complex completed in 1950, and sits immediately East of Orange Ave.
Bertha Mitchell, another 100-unit complex, was completed in 1960, and is located primarily between 21st and 24th streets and Dixie Ave and Links.
McCown Tower, a 100-unit elderly public housing high-rise in Rosemary, was completed in 1969.
Janie Poe (128 units) & Cohen Way (72 units) were completed in 1971 and were built using the same architectural design. All of these units have been demolished.
McCown Tower Annex, a 75-unit Section 8 New Construction development, was completed in 1978.
In 2005, SHA was placed into federal receivership, after HUD found that SHA was troubled in several aspects, including financial, physical condition, and management.
In 2008, SHA was turned back over to local governance/locally-appointed board, marking one of the fastest and most successful HUD receiverships in history.
In 2009, Janie's Garden Phase I was completed, providing 86 new apartments where Janie Poe once stood, and marked Sarasota's first mixed-income rental development.
In 2010, Sarasota County turned its 500+ voucher program over to SHA.
In 2011, SHA completed construction of Janie's Garden Phase II, adding another 68 mixed-income apartments, as well as 10,500 square feet of ground floor retail along Dr. MLK Jr. Way.
In 2012, SHA's 501c3 affiliate, the Sarasota Housing Funding Corp (SHFC), completed it's first multifamily acquisition/rehab of a 15-unit complex at 251 N. Tuttle Avenue, which houses extremely low, very low and low income families.
In early 2013, SHFC also opened a brand new 28-unit brownstone style townhome development on Dr. MLK Jr Way at Maple, which also houses extremely low, very low and low income families.
SHFC now owns 15 single family homes throughout Sarasota which are all leased to very low income families.
In 2013, SHA won the Best Agency in Florida as voted on by its peers from the Florida Association of Housing & Redevelopment Officials.
Today, SHA and SHFC provide housing to over 2,000 families and are constantly working to develop more affordable housing in Sarasota.
SHA is also a HUD High Performer in every category, for several years running, for the first time ever.
Did you know?
SHA was recently voted as the Most Outstanding Housing Agency in FL by our 85 in-state peers.
SHA was once again designated as High Performer by HUD for both Public Housing (97%) and Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) (100%).
SHA is utilizing the two-generation approach to propel and empower our families, with an intense focus on early childhood learning aligned with the Campaign for Grade Level Reading.
SHA has recently housed 110 homeless veterans in our community through the VASH Program.
Our non-profit (SHFC) manages 57 affordable apartments and sponsors innovative programs in partnership with Sarasota Police to foster positive relationships between police and our residents, such as Shop with a Cop and Book 'Em – Cops & Kids Kids Literacy Event (book giveaway).
Over 675 private landlords in this community lease units to families with a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher.
SHA provides affordable rental housing assistance to over 2,100 families in Sarasota, which is 757 more than in 2004!
SHA and SHFC have sponsored over $50 million in redevelopment projects in Newtown since 2008, and we have broken ground on Phase III of Janie's Garden, which will be a $10 million development adding an additional 72 rental units.
SHA's Janie's Garden development won a gold medal for community design by the National Association of Home Builders.
SHA manages an annual budget of over $16 million with 30 employees.
SHA was awarded an Energy Star "Leadership in Affordable Housing Award" by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for promoting energy efficiency in affordable housing.
SHA was the first housing authority in Florida with a LEED certified building – the Janie's Garden clubhouse, designed by Carlson Studio Architecture.
SHA was a finalist for the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce's non-profit of the year award for 2013.

Yanelly Zoller, 4 (YouCaring.com)
A 4-year-old Florida girl died last week after looking for candy in her grandmother's purse — and finding a gun instead.
Yanelly Zoller died Sept. 14 after accidentally pulling the gun's trigger. Nelly, as she was known, was staying with her grandparents Michel and Christie Zoller in North Tampa when the tragedy took place, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
Both grandparents were home at the time of the shooting.
Shane Zoller, the girl's father, spoke fondly of the girl's relationship with her grandparents.
"She was extremely close to them and would get so excited when she got to stay at her nana's house," he said. "She was attached to her nana's hip."
Tampa police were continuing to investigate the shooting, but said they had no reason to doubt the Zollers' story, the Washington Post reported.
The Hillsborough County medical examiner's office reported that the girl died of an accidental gunshot wound to the chest, perforating her lungs, aorta and esophagus.
The father was on his way over to his parents' house to pick Nelly up when he saw police lights out front.
"She just wanted some damn candy," he told the Times.
The 22-year-old father has one other child with one more on the way. He shared custody of Nelly with her mother.
The family has launched a GoFundMe page to raise money for Nelly's funeral costs.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Male Hair Loss Becoming Even More Likely in the UAE?
According to Dubai specialists, Male Pattern Baldness is more common in the United Arab Emirates than many other parts of the world. This hypothesis has been bandied about for years but new figures confirm that around 60% of men in the UAE are expected to experience hair loss at some point, whilst the average of men experiencing hair loss worldwide is around 40%.
Why is Male Pattern Baldness so common in the UAE?
While Male Pattern Baldness can be triggered by a range of factors, the extreme dry weather and high pollution in this region could be leading to the increase. Other potential factors that could lead to hair loss in the UAE include a Vitamin D deficiency due to lack of sun exposure, typical levels of stress in workers, and possibly hard (chlorinated) water.
As we have previously reported, the UAE used to see a high proportion of those who were thinning beginning local hair loss treatment plans without a full diagnosis. However, Dr Dimitrios Ziakas, who works at the Al Borj Medical Centre in Dubai, believes the rising numbers of cases are also now bringing better awareness of hair loss conditions and treatments: "When I started here, people were coming to me when it was too late. Now they are much younger and we are seeing a lot more patients."
Combating genetics and other factors
While it is difficult to assess the interplay of different factors and how these specifically influence the high levels of Male Pattern Baldness in the UAE, it remains the fact that this is still the most common cause of hair loss worldwide. Also known as Androgenetic Alopecia, this type of hereditary thinning affects up to 50 per cent of men by their 50th birthday.
Dr Ziakas sees over 500 patients a year and has performed over 3,000 hair transplants in the UAE. He comments: "The impact of the surgery or medication can be huge on confidence. It is important now for how men look. One patient who lost his hair said that the grief was worse than when he lost his dad."
Treating hair loss abroad
There are two clinically-proven treatments for male pattern baldness – finasteride 1mg and minoxidil – and these can produce significant regrowth whilst preventing further hair loss in cases of genetic shedding.
For people living in the UAE, and many other parts of the world, The Belgravia Centre offers an internationally available home-use service. This includes the option of using alcohol-free treatment formulas.
Once an Online Consultation has been completed, a hair loss specialist will provide a diagnosis and recommend the most effective male hair loss treatments and hair growth boosters tailored to your specific needs, which can be sent out via courier.
The Belgravia Centre
The Belgravia Centre is the leader in hair loss treatment in the UK, with two clinics based in Central London. If you are worried about hair loss you can arrange a free consultation with a hair loss expert or complete our Online Consultation Form from anywhere in the UK or the rest of the world. View our Hair Loss Success Stories, which are the largest collection of such success stories in the world and demonstrate the levels of success that so many of Belgravia's patients achieve. You can also phone 020 7730 6666 any time for our hair loss helpline or to arrange a free consultation.

11/17: The vehicle category N1 with a body code BC subject to the kilometer charge in Belgium from 1 January 2018
The three Belgian regions have recently decided to subject the vehicle category N1 with a body code BC - semi-trailer tractors of 3.5 tons or less - to the payment of the kilometer charge in Belgium from 1 January 2018.
This means that, as of 1 January 2018, these vehicles will need to have a working On Board Unit (OBU) at all times and on all roads in order to be compliant with the Belgian kilometer charging regulations.
You can get this OBU from Satellic: either online via the Road User Portal (RUP), or by stopping at one of the more than 120 Satellic service points located in Belgium. If you need an OBU urgently, we recommend you to go to a service point.
Important: We recommend you however to not switch on the OBU on a Belgian public road before 1 January 2018! If the OBU is fixed installed in your truck, then you should "decouple" the OBU on the Road User Portal (RUP) till 1/1/18.
For more information on how to proceed and on which documents you need, please read our FAQ. The official communication is to be found on the Viapass website, and in this Viapass video.

Significant changes are in store for Northland library users following the passage of Mid-Continent Public Library's Proposition L last November.
Proceeds from the 1 percent property tax increase in Clay, Platte and Jackson counties won't begin flowing to MCPL until December, officials say, but the library is already setting priorities on how to use the approximately $10.5 million in new revenue it will receive annually.
Jim Staley, director of community relations and planning for MCPL's 31 branches, said the library board was expected to vote Feb. 22 to hire a partnership of architectural firms Sapp Design Associates of Springfield, which designed Woodneath Library Center and Midwest Genealogy Center, and Helix Architecture + Design of Kansas City to begin planning.
Staley and public relations coordinator Emily Brown said a series of 29 public meetings would begin on March 2. The meetings are intended to gather input from library users. Fourteen of those meetings will be held at Northland libraries.
"We want to gather community input as part of the puzzle," said Staley, one of six library administrators, including Director Stephen Potter, who will lead MCPL's community stakeholder discussions. "Since we're in the process of budgeting and planning, this is a good time to have these meetings."
Library card-holders will also receive invitations by email, as well a survey they can complete.
Each of MCPL's branches will see building improvements and upgraded services with the new revenue. Depending on when the libraries were built — and problems they've encountered since — some renovations will be more extensive than others, Staley said.
For example, Woodneath Library Center, Platte City and Smithville are newer buildings and haven't reached an age when renovations are needed, he said.
"They were the first that have community rooms, quiet meeting areas, things like that," Staley said.
Woodneath, one of the newest facilities, will see an auditorium built onto the existing building, according to Staley.
The improvements will take place over a number of years. A schedule has yet to be determined.
Some of MCPL's older branches were built as large open areas – basically warehouses for books and other printed matter – and have no designated areas for book groups or study sessions. Those libraries, Excelsior Springs for example, will receive enclosed areas and other improvements.
Three Northland libraries — Liberty, North Oak and Boardwalk — will be completely replaced, likely at new locations. Input on where to build them will be gathered at the upcoming community meetings, Staley said.
This branch, I know we plan to keep it in the same general area," Staley said of Liberty, a facility that was cobbled together from two connected buildings built at different times. "It will be on this side of (Interstate) 35."
The North Oak branch was built by a creek, and like Liberty, it has been plagued by foundation and other problems, Staley said.
The Boardwalk branch is a unique situation. Like the North Oak branch, it has no room for expansion.
"Boardwalk is kind of a well-rounded branch with a higher door count, computer usage and circulation than some others in the Northland," he said.
MCPL plans to convert Boardwalk into what it calls "a destination branch," which means it, like Woodneath, will offer services and programs that attract users from outside the immediate area.
In addition to building replacements and improvements, MCPL's new funding will help fill a number of vacant staff positions, pay for new circulation materials such as books, DVDs, e-books and audio e-books, online databases and other services, and increase internet bandwidth across the system.
At the upcoming meetings, library leaders will ask users what they like and don't like about their branches' current services and hours.
"We're going in thinking we can add hours where they're wanted and needed," Staley said.
Library users are already taking advantage of a feedback link at www.mymcpl.org/community, Brown said.
"We've already been getting some comments online, things like families that home-school their kids and want to get together with other families," she said.
If you go
Public meetings will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. on the following dates at these Northland library branches:
▪ Woodneath Library Center, 8900 NE Flintlock Road, Kansas City, March 2
▪ Smithville, 120 Richardson St., Smithville, March 2
▪ Excelsior Springs, 1460 Kearney Road, Excelsior Springs, March 2

▪ Liberty, 1000 Kent St., Liberty, March 16
▪ Dearborn, 206 Maple Leaf Ave., Dearborn, March 20
▪ Boardwalk, 8656 N. Ambassador Drive, Kansas City, March 23
▪ Claycomo, 309 NE 69 Highway, Claycomo, March 23
▪ North Oak, 8700 N. Oak Trafficway, Kansas City, April 6

There's nothing better than tangy pickled jalapeños — except maybe a burger topped with them. This burger gets extra heat from the jalapeños mixed into the beef and the pepper jack cheese melted on top. Make the pickled jalapeños at least a day in advance for the best flavor.
Bring the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a simmer in a small sauce pan. As soon as the sugar and salt are dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and pour the brine over the sliced jalapeños . Store (in a covered jar) in the refrigerator overnight.
Combine the ground beef and chopped pickled jalapeños and mix, just until combined. Gently form the beef into 4 patties and then season each patty with salt and pepper.
Grill the burgers, about 5 minutes per side, until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Add one slice of cheese to each patty and grill for one minute more.
Serve the burgers on the toasted buns, topped with more jalapeños , red onion slices, and lettuce.

Early Tuesday, April 3, Troup city officials were alerted about a collapsed sewer main in the 1400 block of West Duval near Dairy Queen. The problem was first discovered when water was found seeping through a manhole cover located near Braden Street and West Duval.
By mid-morning, crews had located the area of pipe that had collapsed, dug up the roadway and were searching for the ends of pipe to ascertain the length of pipe to be replaced. The City of Tyler had sent a large sewer cleaning truck and tried to clear the blockage in the pipe, according to Troup city manager Gene Cottle. Though they were unable to clear the blockage, they did locate the exact position of the collapse.
Cottle cited the age of the clay pipe as the cause of the failure and reported that since sewer lines are dug much deeper than other utility lines, no other utilities were affected. The broken length of clay pipe will be replaced with plastic pipe.
Trucks of 3,000- and 4,000-gallon capacities were used to pump out and transport the sewage during the repair.
"We're going to work until it's completely repaired," Cottle stated on Thursday, April 5. "There has been no problem in disposing of sewer because we've been pumping it out and transporting it."
Labor and equipment for the emergency work was estimated at $40,000 but that figure did not account for the cost of the trucks to pump and transport the sewage.
Final connections on the sewer line were completed Saturday, April 7, and repaving of the roadway began Monday, April 9.

COMO, Miss. -- One person killed, four others injured and a house riddled with bullets in Panola County.
Police told WREG's Kristen Holloway the killers are still on the run.
The shooting happened on Smart Road near Como, Mississippi late Friday night.
"All I could do was cry because I could see the puddle of blood where people got shot," said LaTonya Eason.
Crime tape, shattered glass and tons of bullet holes. That was the scene on Smart Road after the shooting
On the other side of the road, family and friend came together to pray.
"Lord, I thank you for protecting the kids. Lord, dear God protecting the one that didn't get hit by the stray bullets," said Eason.
Leola Petty said both her sons, Ricky and Ronnie Petty, were shot. Ronnie died at the hospital.
"He was a good little boy. He didn't bother nobody," said Leola Petty.
According to deputies, the suspects were using assault rifles and nine millimeter guns. Several bullets went into a house nearby. No one inside that home was hit but nine people were inside at the time.
LaTonya Eason said her cousin, Rod Birge, was hit while standing outside and now he's in critical condition.
"He's a truck driver he was doing good for himself, he's the type that didn't bother anybody whatever you asked him for he gave it to you and I just hate he got caught in the cross fire," said Eason. "I just pray that this community will really get themselves together and I hope this will be a wake up call for everybody."
No arrest have made for this crime. It's still unclear what led up to the shooting.
Police have not released the names of the other victims injured.
A vigil is scheduled for Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. on Abrams Road.

I am in perfectly good health, why as a Michigan resident would I need a health care proxy (Advanced Directive)?
A fact of life is that tragedy does not come when expected. A health care proxy or advanced directive allows you to designate a trusted individual to make the decisions you would want made if you were able to make them for yourself. It is always better to be prepared, and a health care proxy can lift the burden from family and friends when deciding who is best equipped to make vital calls in regard to your health and well-being.
